Terence Crawford says that he feels that the media are rejecting their opportunity to overcome Canelo Álvarez with a super medium weight as they did when he fought against Errol Spence.
Crawford (41-0, 31 kos) states that the media say they have never seen a smaller “great fighter” uploading two divisions and beat a “bigger” big fighter.
“Have you ever done?”
Crawford states that “it has never been done” before, where a big fighter “uploaded two divisions to defeat a” great “world champion. Considering himself as “great” is a bit exaggerated, given his weak curriculum. The real great Sugar Ray Leonard It uploaded two kinds of weight of the welter weight to defeat the medium weight champion Marvin Hagler On April 6, 1987. Leonard’s curriculum is much better than Crawford’s sterile.
Defined greatness
In the first four years of his career, from 1977 to 1981, Sugar Ray Leonard gathered a superior curriculum than what Crawford produced throughout his 17 -year career. Leonard already fought against Roberto Duran X 2, Tommy Hearns, Wilfried Benitez and Floyd Mayweather Mr.
Spence is not a good caliber for Terence to use to show fans that he will overcome Canelo because both are three size divisions. The victory over the accident after the car shattered, the weight was exhausted and Spence exhausted only shows that Crawford could take advantage of what was left of this type.
Why the media doubt Crawford
- Chronic inactivity
- Uploading two divisions
- Poor exhibition in the last fight
- Age: 38 in September
- Fight Canelo for the wrong reasons: money, not legacy
- Choose to take a tuning in 168
- Weak curriculum vitae: only Spence’s name in the 17 -year curriculum of Crawford
Even if Crawford wins, it is likely to be bored following Mayweather’s plan and hit, move and hold Canelo all night. That will reduce any victory that Crawford can obtain, so he is controversial. If Canelo is pressing and landing the toughest shots all night, it will naturally lead to a controversy if Crawford wins when hitting and running as Floyd did.
“My thinking process about climbing two divisions is to do something that had never been done before,” said Terence Crawford to Ring Magazine On him, potentially, uploading two divisions of 154 to challenge the unified medium -weight champion Canelo Álvarez at 168 in September.
SPENCE: DECEAST
“In the media, when you hear them talk, you always hear them say, they have never seen a smaller, great fighterHe beat a great fighter. “He is the greatest, he is the strongest and is the most powerful fighter.” These are the things they said about (former Welter Errol weight champion) Spence.
“We do not know what to expect with Crawford because we had never seen Crawford before in this weight. We have never seen Crawford receive a blow of a larger guy like Canelo. We know that Crawford can box and move, but can it have a blow? Bud said, trying to generate interest in his fight with Álvarez.
